        as far as im aware its not possible, also i tried USB stick and it eats so much memory, recommend a external hardrive around 80gb for one of these mate!

            It's the HD channels that use a lot of memory.

                elaborate a little more please manic.

                cos i thought you couldnt do that it does not have a twin tuner.

                very interested to know how!

                thanks.

                  If recording ie bbc 2 then you get the option to view bbc 3etc on same tp.
                  Does not work on encrypted channels I believe.

                    Yes, just make it up here, say your watching footy on sky sports 1 and you want to record rugdby on sky sports 2, If these where on same transpoder you could do it, if not, it wouldn't be possible, never tried it personally, but ive heared so,

                    Regards, Ellis.
